... TOTALLY ROCK!!!

I took her for a drive tonight in my usual circuit of homebush stadium (where a guy can do laps without the prescence of other cars) and she handles like a cat on carpet! no more understeer, corners like she's on rails!

By the way, when I went back there to remove my old bump stops, there was nothing but a wedge of 36yr old rubber :shock: I am glad I changed them!

I am now totally convinced that the front shocks will be better than good! can't wait to put them in too! Who ever said Rubber cone was better than hydro?? :wink:

Thanks for the tip Doc!

Love the Hydro's
But we have uprated Bumperstops alround, A little sharp but love it as we are running on the Stops
Hydro needs a little pump up

The good Doctor was saying that the front bump stop is not required as it hits up against it too often. He advised me to put shocks at the front and the bumps at the back...

Maybe this is why you're running alittle "sharp"

Also my car's hydro was recently pumped up so that may be the cuase?

I bought the comp fronts and put them on, but it sat too way high- had positive camber, handled up to sh!t... so I put the originals back on. They're shaved about 4 or 5mm, gives me a teeny bit of neg camber.... 8)

I modified some stock rear brackets to take these comp rubbers, and sold 'em.. :P
